| Marker Text |
A native of South Carolina and a Confederate Veteran, Archie Adams came to Houston County in 1873. Adams was a farmer and general store owner and also served as an election judge and county commissioner. He and his wife, Selia Anna, are buried in the family cemetery he began in 1884 with the burial of an infant son. The journal he kept form 1873 until 1897 serves as an invaluable commentary on 19th-century life in Houston County. |
